Also take supplements - Vitamin C; B-12; Folic Acid; Vitamin K-1 and K-2; Iron; Daily Multi Vitamin; Vitamin D; and lastly Beet Root capsules which i started again a few days ago. Beet root appeared to work good last February when my platelets dropped to 36,000. Then went up to 65,000. I quit taking it as I was going to the bathroom more at night and feeling a little queasy. It's difficult as you read conflicting information on the internet concerning life expectancy and treatments.
Hi Majorindy, have you spoken to your doctor about possibly having CMML?
